Ring Cowrie

This exceptional snail is both beautiful and hard working. It eats many types of algae such as hair and diatoms, and is not usually targeted by hermit crabs. Its smooth shell is covered by its fleshy mantel when the snail is active. It is known to breed in the aquarium and may sit on top of its eggs to protect them. It grows to 1 inch and is perfect for even small aquariums. It should be placed right side up on the sand after acclimation.
